Swann is many things, but I would suggest that incompetent is quite probably top of the list.
I will also say that his intentions have always been to improve the position of the club. Sadly, his incompetence and lack of football knowledge have led us to where we are now. The sooner he realises this the better. Let’s hope that the recent activity and the confirmation of Hill staying on regardless as the start of a change in fortune.
Regarding ‘matters sinister’.
Someone whose highly knowledgeable opinion I value greatly – and really knows her/his politics from the inside – has declared to me that he/she has encountered a surprisingly tiny ratio of plots in high places as opposed to the alternative explanations.
Whether this is where plots are assumed to have happened in: politics, business, high finance etc – playing the odds, apparently, you are ALWAYS safer assuming incompetence to be at the heart of the matter. It begins as the odds on favourite.
Consequently – applying the logic above – this writer would wager his tenner on incompetence. Managing businesses – and football clubs which happen to be businesses – are not the same thing.
